Lefties are going to bat over .350 against Floyd.

Floyd looks very, very easy to hit for lefties.

And now the Brewers are blowing their lead. This baseball season sucks so much.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:42 AM) Either the coaching staff doesnt know how to setup the field to play to the strengths of the gameplan, or Prancer is blowing kisses to the crowd and is in his usual spot that he doesnt move from. But just think of the joy he brought some overweight teenage girl.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:41 AM) To be fair, that last ball is caught by a Left Fielder. We just have the travelling groin show in left tonight for some reason. I'm shocked the headline for the first game wasn't that Pods sparks team in his return.

That was actually one of Floyd's better innings.

Pods really busted his ass on that fly ball. Hall calls just an awful game, as we pitch away from our defense. I honestly don't believe Floyd could ever go through this Tigers 1-5 without allowing a run.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:31 AM) Owens has mastered the art of bunting directly into the path of an opposing player. Someone should tell him to do that every time, so by nature he'll do the opposite and find an open area of field. I always did hate watching Nook Logan play....now we have our own version.

Can we please put Hall on the DL? There's no reason to keep him on the roster right now.

It's funny Mackowiak homered tonight, as this might be the weakest hitting Sox outfield in history.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) Floyd just threw a curveball that curved. That was a much better one. Something I noticed is he doesn't come close to finishing the pitch out of the stretch. He definitely short arms it.

We definitely have the market on 89 mph fastball starters in baseball.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:12 AM) ozzie's always saying that uribe can carry a team. Has he ever done that? Is he referring to the equipment? Not since 2004, in which baseball was played in a different way.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:11 AM) That's terrible for Fields to miss a flat 84 mph fastball. I don't know where the "cut" was that Hawk refered to. Fields really struggles with high fastballs so far in his career. That's one pitch I think he'll get better with.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:06 AM) With no curve, Floyd has no chance against the team that has scored more runs than anyone in baseball. At least the slider is decent. His slider has been crushed so far tonight.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:04 AM) Do we take the time to actually position our players to the way we are attacking the hitter. You are throwing in, on a fastball hitter who has quick bat speed. And we have our third baseman off the line. That would require coaching. The actual strategy this team shows has deteriorated in a huge way since Nossek left.

I love seeing Hall set up inside with a fastball to one of the best fastball hitters in history.

You know what cracks me up....we're trying to showcase Jermaine Dye for a trade, and we play him against one of the better righties in the AL but sit him against a rookie pitcher with an ERA above 20.

Floyd has one of the worst curveballs I've ever seen. Can we just fire the GM and Manager, and start over? This gets more embarassing every single day.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:55 AM) my lord But Masset and Floyd looked awesome in the Arizona Fall League!

Maybe someone will take a chance on him, and we can trade him also. I want to face him right now!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) f*** this Just call Floyd "she"...it at least will make you laugh.

Good grief, he's awful.

That 90 mph fastball down the plate is going to get demolished.

QUOTE(southsida86 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) What is very strange about that is that his fastball was hitting 91-94 for the first two batters and then magically dropped into the high 80s. Very troubling. I heard when we acquired him that he sucks out of the stretch, which in part is caused by his funky motion.
